It is interesting to think how things might be different if the guitar was the de facto interface for synths. The technology obviously wasn't there at the time.

YAMAHA CS01 Vintage Analog Mono Mini Synth

via this auction

"Very simple, straightforward analogue design VCO-Filter-Envelope. Pitch bend wheel & assignable Mod wheel for Vibrato or Wah effects. 4 wave shapes & a great & buzzy PWM setting!"

Update via Thatsnotmydad in the comments: "When Lionel Richie was the musical guest on SNL, his keyboard player used the CS01 with a breath controller for the opening synth solo. It was the coolest thing I'd seen.

Also, I owned a Casiotone 405 -- the keyboard upon which the Yamaha is displayed. So, these photos are a serious rush."

Curious if it was the 1982 season mentioning Lionel here.
